Strain of the shoulder in Horses.

Strain of the shoulder, very truly SAYS
Professor Rich in his work on artistic
horse shOeing, is generally a cloak for the
ignorance of the groom or other attendant
upon the horse. 1t is. in fact, very rare
accident though often assigned as Il cause
for lamcness which is really in the feet,
legs or knees. 1t is an inflammation of
some of the muscles of the shoulder fol-
lowing violent strain, and generally con-
lined to the serratus muscle, which sings
the body to the shoulder blade, and which
is sometimes strained in coming down
from Il high leap. etc. The symptoms are
dragging of the toe in the walk, with
deficiency of action on the trot and a drop
of the head while the affected leg is being
extended, and not while it is on the
ground: hence, when shoulder lameness is
mistaken for foot lameness, the groom is
apt to shift the blame on to the wrong
foot. 1t may also he distinguished by
laying hold of the affected lee and draw
ing the whole together with the shoulder
forward, when, if the latter is affected,
the horse will give evidence of pain. which
he will not do if the foot or leg is the seat
of the mischief
The treatment for shoulder lameness
lies in rest, bleeding, purgng cooling
balls, with nitre, etc. \ cooling diet of
green meat will also be needful, and ali
the corn should be taken away. After all
the heat has disappeared the horse may
he turned loose into box, and in another
fortnight he may be walked out with u
leading rein; but it should be tWs or three
months before he is again mounted.

Professor Brown, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college at Guelph. Can, recently
summed up the usefulness of bran to
farmers, after having carefully considered
its chemical composition:
!. Bran is concentrated food, which,
though variable in com. osition, possesses
high nutritive value
,. Roller process bran is, on the aver
age, richer than old process bran.
3. It's excess of ash or mineral matters
eminently fits it for bone building in
growing animals, and for experimenting
the lack of mineral matters in roots
4. Its chemical composition points to
the conclusion that it is somewhat better
adapted to the formation of fat and pro-
ducton of heat than to the formation of
muscle or of milk.
.. Both its chemical composition and its
physical form adapt it admirably as u
supplementary food To be used in connec-
ton with poor and bulky fodder, such as
straw and roots

FIG. 1-PACKING poI-ITny

To begin with, let all poultry fast twelve
hours previous to killing it, to insure
empty crops. As the highest prices are,
other things being equal, paid for dry
picked poultry, it goes without saving that
it pays TO pick it dry. In picking the
birds be sure and remove all the pin
feathers, as any left in give an untidy ap-
pcar1nce that goes against the successful
marketing of the birds. The best time to
pick poultry without scalding it is while
the birds are warm.
rs some markets require the fowls to
be "draWn," while others prefer them
with the cntrails undisturhcd, each ship
per ought to advise himself of the re
quircmcnts of his own market. As rule
New York and Philadelphia dealers prefer
dressed poultry that has the feathers only
removed; head, feet and entrails remain,
Boston, Baltimore and Chicago markets
require that the fowls he "drawn." Some
1narkcts--as Chicago, for instance-cive
preference to dressed poultry that has
been relieved of the heads and which has
the skin drawn up and neatly tied over the
StumrS.
Do not pack the birds for transportation
until they are quite cold. In cold weather
poultry is sometimes shipped in clean
boxes or barrels, without any packing
material; but the usual plan is to place
layers of long, clean straw between each
layer of birds. Rye straw will be found
good for the purpose. Begin with cover
ing the bottom of the box with "A LAYER of
straw. Now pick up fowl, bend the
head under and to one side of the breast
bone, and lay it down fiat ON its breast.
back up, the legs extended straight ont
behind, rs shown in Fig. T. Lay the first
bird IN the left hand corner. With this
beginning, lay row across the box to the
right, and pack close, row by row, until
only one row is left; then reverse the
heads, laying them next the other end of
the box, the feet under the previous row

ner of packing in the box. Pack straw
enough between the layers SO that the
fowls cannot touch, and 50 proceed until

never resort TO any of the questionable
methods sometimes used by manufacturers
for making what they call cider vinegar
quickly, but are content to wait on the
natural process, and find their compcnsa-
ton in the higher value placed on their
products by their customers.

Vinegar Making.

Vinegar can be easily made from many
different substances. but in n country
Astounding in apples there is no excuse for
making it for domestic use from ANYTHING
but the best Pure cider vinegar is easily
though not quickly made by the natural
process, and when thus made is healthful
and free from all the objections attached
to the manufactured article and never
disappoints the housekeeper by degener-
atinS to insipidity or eating up her pickles
with extreme acidity. When made in
large quantities the making begins as soon
as enough apples have fallen to furnish
supply. These are ground in the cider
mill as for cider and may be pressed at
once but a better way is to keep the
pomace in large watts or casks to remain
until it has become quite sour, when the
cider is pressed out ana again put into the
watts or casks to be kept there until it is
well settled, then the clear liquor is drawn
OFF into barrels not quite full.
These barrels should be kept in the sun
covered with loose boards to protect them,
until cold weather, when they are re-
moved to the vinegar house, which must
have stove to keep it warm in the win
ter, and thus hasten the process
The barrels ought to be iron hoped and
painted, as it is desirable, though not in
dispensable, to expose them to the sun in
the warm autumn days and for large
operators a vinegar house is an excellent
thing. But many keep their sour cider in
cellars or barns until spring, when it is
a.. al exposed to the sun and n circulation
g air, for a cellar is not a good place for
making vinegar. The bung holes should
be covered with mosquito net or anything
that Will keep out flies without shutting
off The air, but the bungs must not be
used except temporarily until the vinegar
is entirely made, Cor with proper treat

The loss by evaporation and leakage is

will bear an addition of rain water some
times equal 10 the loss and still be strong
enough to meet all requirements. Indeed
the dilutiOn with water is generally neces-
sary to some degree, as in many cases the
old vinegar is TOO acid to be agreeable
and the cider in the first stages of making
is often Slow in turning to the acid state
on account of an excess of saccharine
matter, which is corrected by a proper
addition Of soft water.
The natural process may be FASTENED
by occasionally turning the cider out of
one barrel into another, exposing il more
fully to the air, also by the addition of a
gallon of strong vinegar to each barrel,
and sometimes trickling il down through
Leach chips or shavings is practced for u

Care of Newly set Trees,

Professor Budd, of Iowa, advises the
mounding in the fall of newly set trees
with earth for the first three years after
setting the orchard. 1t protects from the
possible barking of the stems by mice and
helps materially to protect the tender
seeding roots in the first stages of growth
and extension. In the colder portions of
north Iowa and in Dakota, Minnesota
and Manitoba it will pay to mound the
stems well up to the branches for the
first three years after setting. 1t should
never be forgotten that the newly set tree
will not endure the dry freezing Of winter
as perfectly as it will when it has made a
deep extension of root; hence the mound
ing should never be omitted
